Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. While the cooking times in this recipe are a good guideline, the actual time may vary depending on the size and thickness of your chicken breasts and the power of your air fryer.
- Customize the level of heat to your liking. If you're a fan of spicy food, feel free to add more buffalo sauce or even a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade to really kick things up a notch. On the other hand, if you prefer a milder flavor, you can use a bit less buffalo sauce or swap it out for a milder hot sauce instead.
- Chicken thighs would work great in this recipe. Thighs may take a bit longer to cook through, so be sure to use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
